Knightmare Deck #772539 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer or Sabre Dancer from the Extra Deck, using Lunalight monsters, to attack through the board (Inferred from card text); Link and Fusion pressure through Knightmare Unicorn and Knightmare Phoenix, plus Lunalight Panther Dancer (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 search a Lunalight starter (Masquerade, Gold Leo, Black Sheep or Kaleido Chick), then build toward Polymerization into a Lunalight Fusion (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand interaction to stall the opponent's turn, then Fusion Summon through the resulting gap (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover Lunalight monsters from the GY with Luna Light Perfume and Yellow Marten, and re-Fusion (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

This is an illegal list: Ash Blossom and Foolish Burial Goods exceed their Semi-Limited copy limit, and three Forbidden cards are present, so the evaluation is theoretical and structural only. The system is a Lunalight Fusion engine with 21 searcher-text cards (P of at least one in a 5-card hand is about 0.92, Inferred) and a 9-card hand-trap suite, but only 6 Lunalight core cards and 2 Polymerization give a narrow fusion route. No combos were recorded, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and not observed. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core is only 40% present against usage statistics, and no meta or tournament data exists. The score was not built by averaging card scores; it comes from the Combo-profile structural weights, a 0.20 tournament reliability term, and a -12 modifier for banlist exposure, the copy-limit breaches and the single fusion-route choke point.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); unrecoverable choke point (-2); hard-garnet burden (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 46.2, then -12 context modifiers (capped at -12) = 34

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher density (21 cards), so a 5-card hand usually finds a Lunalight starter (Inferred)
• Nine hand traps and about 15 removal or negation effects give broad interaction (Verified text)
• High-ATK Lunalight Dancer fusions give strong closing power if the route is online (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit breaches and three Forbidden cards (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Only 2.9% exact-archetype purity; the engine is split across Lunalight, generic and tech cards (Verified)
• Only 6 Lunalight core cards and 2 Polymerization make the fusion route thin (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Polymerization x2 as the only fusion route into the Lunalight Dancer package (Inferred)
• Forbidden Number 41 and 60 removed, so the Xyz package is weakened (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with five violations (copy limits and Forbidden cards); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Card text and stats from the resolved card list; Usage statistics: Lunalight core present 2 of 5 (40%)
• Inferred: Searcher density gives P(at least one starter in hand) about 0.92; Fusion route depends on 2 Polymerization and 6 Lunalight core cards; Interaction density is high relative to the rest of the deck
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample exists
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
